About소개

Purpose

Despite the explosive growth of AI, the research community in machine learning (ML) and AI theory remains small and geographically and institutionally dispersed. In Korea, ML/AI theory researchers, especially graduate students, often find themselves isolated within their own labs, with limited opportunities to interact with researchers from other groups.

LeT Workshop aims to promote exchange and collaboration among ML/AI theory researchers across Korea, while providing a venue for sharing their latest research. Internationally, active exchange among researchers has helped build strong research communities that have served as important hubs for advancing AI theory (e.g., ITA Workshop, COLT, ALT, AISTATS, & Simons Institute programs). This workshop aims to provide a similar forum in Korea where such a community can grow.

In line with this goal, this workshop is supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) through the R&D project “Development of an End-to-End Design and Validation Framework for Mathematically Principled Next-Generation AI Architectures and Learning Algorithms.” Through this effort, we hope to strengthen the foundation for a self-sustaining ML/AI theory research community in Korea and advance foundational technologies for next-generation AI.

Scope

LeT broadly covers theoretical research in machine learning and deep learning, situated at the crossroads of computer science, statistics, mathematics, and related disciplines. We welcome work that primarily advances theoretical analysis and guarantees. Key topics include, but are not limited to:

Foundations and Complexity of Learning

Design and analysis of learning algorithms, statistical and computational complexity of learning, learning under system constraints, interplay between learning theory and other mathematical fields

Optimization and Learning Dynamics

Optimization methods for learning, including online and stochastic methods, theory of artificial neural networks including deep learning, theoretical insights into empirical phenomena in learning

Sequential Decision Making

Reinforcement learning, bandits, online learning

Statistics, Inference, and Causality

High-dimensional and non-parametric statistics, Bayesian methods in learning, sampling and probabilistic inference, causality
